With its depleted roster, if our Huskies make it to the Final Four, it would be a truly epic achievement. But here, I think, is there the short bench catches up to their tourney fate: USC 68 UConn 61

One need not be a very astute observer of the women's game today to fully grasp the fact that what we Neanderthals used to refer to as "girl's basketball" is rapidly evolving into something of a free-for-all. 'Tain't no dainty affair out there! The banging that we routinely witness on the floor...

Great game!!! Closer than it probably should have been, but, given that our Huskies are dancing on the very perimeter of how far, with their obvious shortcomings, they can likely go in this tournament, they richly deserve our unvarnished praise. Syracuse was a damn tough opponent, and beating...

If I am not mistaken, Ashlynn’s father was a collegiate player and is now a coach. I know that many of us are profoundly impressed by Ashlynn’s contributions as a Freshman, but we probably should not be surprised. She entered the program extraordinarily well-coached in fundamentals. No matter...

You didn't mention the time of year for which this trip is planned (unless I missed it). Normandy is fabulous, and, though apple and pear blossoms are features of Spring, so, alas is rain! The WWII memorial beaches are truly moving, and, your husband's special interests notwithstanding, you will...

I've looked into this situation carefully, and have reached the following conclusions: 1. It's not about the poor kid who got hurt. 2. It's about us, the fans, who are clearly being victimized! 3. Someone is to blame here (someone's ALWAYS to blame!) 4. I don't know who...

I am old…’tis a fact. And, the older I get, the more curmudgeonly I become, so my slanted views are unlikely to be widely shared. But, while I have been a lifelong fan of college athletics, I’m convinced that the elements to which I’ve long been attracted threaten the entertainment value of...

Kim’s loading up!!

The responses by some of my fellow posters to my original post, folks for whom the outcome of the championship game was obviously not the one for which they were hoping, have given me quite a chuckle. Sure, I know that Kim is controversial, but, as you might imagine, I am ENTIRELY indifferent as...

1. Like her or dislike her (put me in the former category), one must admit she's a great coach. 2. The "color" she brings to the game adds a huge element of interest, to say nothing of fun. My wife, whose knowledge of, and interest in, sports in general never fails to join me in watching when...

Gin and tonic season in New Orleans. Hoping I won't require more than one!

Not to be pedantic, but, well, the proper spelling is anoint, anoints, anointed.

Aubrey defined what its meant by BADASS!!!

Great honor and recognition for Aaliyah. Obviously, Caitlin wins this, and deservedly so, but nice to see Aaliyah properly noticed. While there's no question about Caitlin, I'd love to see Maddie S finish very high in the voting!

Aubrey totally badass!

Oh my…when I initiated this thread, I THOUGHT that all I was doing was inviting my fellow posters to mutually celebrate a magical moment for the women’s game, as well as to mutually celebrate the accomplisments of someone that any but the most outrageously obtuse of fans recognize as a truly...

Good point! But still, the magic was real!

I love women's basketball. I love the spread out array of talent that has brought parity to the game. I hugely admire the extraordinary skills of Caitlin Clark. I hope lots of my fellow Boneyarders got a chance to watch the just-concluded Iowa-Indiana game, and the magic Caitlin brought to the...

The Bad: Team remains WAY too turnover-prone! The Good: Held DePaul to twelve 4th qtr. points! The Grit: Nika down the stretch!

Turnovers made what should have been a fairly comfortable win tough!

Nika!

Reports of the Huskies' demise are not unanticipated, but are premature. Huskies prevail,77-65.

Occasionally, and, fortunately, only occasionally, we have games when probably no badass award should be conferred. Happily, more often, there are games wherein more than one player proves to be deserving. But when Kibitzer originally conceived this particular honor, it was not in an effort...

Wow! Since you have apparently anointed yourself the Boards (sic) most rational poster, you left out an i and an r.

Teams are doing a great job defending vs Lou, making it really hard for her to get open shots...still, when this team needs a crucial bucket, look who shows up!!!

Lou!!

I am a huge Husky fan, and am eternally biased in their favor. I love Aaliyah’s game, and have frequently posted plaudits in support of her. But neither Aaliyah nor anyone else on my favorite team is even in a stratosphere of legitimate consideration of Big East POY honors alongside of Maddy...

Truly gutsy Husky performance with so many points sitting on the bench! SC offensive rebounding and second chance points did our team in, but we gave ‘em all they could handle.

Maddy Siegrist!

Over the years, no aspect of being a fan of Geno's program has brought more satisfaction than watching talented, but otherwise unheralded players transition from competence to greatness under the tutelage of this coach and the staff he assembles. No better example of this phenomenon exists, in...

Lou was total badass tonight. Every time a bucket was desperately needed, she nailed one!

Ooooh, that Aaliyah...she baaad!

Turnovers, a we know, are contagious. I guess Old Dude fumbled getting to the gate today!

Leaving aside the issue of injuries and maladies as they relate to this game, one must, if one is a true fan of the sport, appreciate the effort that so many programs have made to narrow the gap between UConn and all the rest. Even though the Huskies are responsible for making me a fan of...

The teams guards, and Nikafireplug in particular, have been doing a fantastic job of delivering the ball to a streaking AG in transition When Aubrey takes these assists in full stride, the rest of the sequence becomes athletic poetry in motion!
